I find many of your arguments weak. Many families I know have 2 cars, even in Europe. One electric (current Leaf, Soul, etc.) for commuting, the other ICE sedan for commuting/traveling would be perfect for them. Europeans, incl. Germans drive much uglier cars than the Leaf (Multipla?). A Leaf with quick-charge port (CHAdeMO) would allow 30 min charge if there is a station half-way to the coast (which there might be already). I do agree that electric vehicle offerings and government policies are not ideal, but your attitude (about electrics and gov't policy) boils down to "if it's only half-good, let's slam it for not being perfect." I don't see how that can help adoption.
